A Walk through the Heavens: A Guide to Stars and Constellations and their Legends. Written for the beginner, A Walk through the Heavens by Milton D. Heifetz and Wil Tirion, takes the reader on a journey through the constellations starting with the brightest stars in the sky and moving on to the dimmer stars. This friendly book not only points out the constellations but enables the reader to see the relationships among constellations. With simple star maps to orient the reader, the book begins with a section on measuring distances in the sky, star brightness and life in the heavens. From there, the walk begins moving from constellation to constellation using beautifully detailed illustrations. Ancient myths and legends of the sky and a constellation index are also included. No equipment is needed to use this practical guide apart from normal sight and clear skies.
